"She Remained" by Emily Hawkins is a fine art photography book that contains cut and paste poetry paired with 35mm film images. Through these images Hawkins is trying to find a way to capture all the feelings, emotions and experiences she has had while growing up, learning how to love, and enduring heart break. The images in "She Remained" are examining the tension of being both an outsider and an inside in ones life. The theme of balancing between documenter and documented merge through this record of a shared experience. This body of work contains surrealist imagery, blurry subject matter, and a grainy finish, reminiscent of the way we interact with our memories. The text captures a poetic lyricism that subverts or compliments each image.
